About Camp Vanguard

Located on the shores of Lake Pierce in Central Florida, Camp Vanguard is the only private weight loss camp for kids and teens. Located in Haines City, Florida, between Tampa and Orlando, its exclusive access to the 114-acre grounds of the FAA Leadership Training Center affords campers the opportunity to get fit by doing a variety of activities.

The camp, which is focused on weight loss through exercise, opens for its 11-day pre-camp session on June 13. Following the pre-camp session, Camp Vanguard offers 10 additional sessions, varying in length, with dates extending to August 15. Pricing depends on length of stay.

A typical day at Camp Vanguard includes five activity periods, three meals and two snack periods, and various evening activities. With an on-site lake, ropes course, paintball course, biking trails and air-conditioned sports facilities, the activity options are endless. On Sundays, there is an alternate schedule that includes a late wake-up time and fun group activity. Once a week, campers have the opportunity to attend an off-grounds trip.

Accommodations

Campers live in air-conditioned villa suites, with bathrooms shared between two suites. Outside of the living quarters, campers can enjoy the natural beauty of all 114-acres of the camp grounds as well as air-conditioned sports and activity facilities.
